Increasing productivity, resource utilisation and efficiency could have been ‘choice’ in the past, it is life and death for the manufacturing sector in today’s world. The only way to ride through the troubled waters is to make our organisations operationally resilient against the external shocks.

The Roadmap to Manufacturing Excellence programme provides an inclusive framework for improving and upscaling your firm's operations. This 4-day hands-on programme provides insights on aligning production operations with business strategy of a firm and identifying clear objectives and specific improvement initiatives that can effectively be pursued to achieve manufacturing excellence in your firm.

 

The programme provides a clear roadmap to follow in order to implement cutting edge concepts for designing, maintaining, and controlling production operations. By the end of the programme, the participants are expected to have learned 

  • The need for defining a clear ‘manufacturing/operations strategy’ and its pivotal role in implementing business strategy of a manufacturing firm
  • How to develop actionable plans for achieving manufacturing excellence and their implementation in an organisational setting
  • The manufacturing excellence concepts such as lean manufacturing, six sigma, manufacturing resource planning, just-in-time manufacturing, supplier management, total productive maintenance, and quality circles
  • How to develop systems for continuously improving production operations

 

The programme is designed specifically for managers from middle to senior levels who are responsible for achieving manufacturing excellence in their firms.
